I'd like to represent graphically/visually a fund/portfolio by something that resembles a pie chart. But... the fund/portfolio contains things that have negative value (think of liabilities such as: accrued fees, FX hedging marks etc.) These are relatively quite small (e.g., less than 10%).

How do I graphically present such a portfolio? I like the pie chart, but other suggestions are welcome too. However, I'm not super enthusiastic about a single column bar chart. I'm hoping for some ingenious find.

  • $\begingroup$ I think I know what I'd like: a concentric pie chart where the inner pie contains the NAV and the leveraging bits, and the outer pie contains the constituents of the gross asset value. I've asked here superuser.com/q/920836/302527 how to make it. $\endgroup$

I would suggest you have a look at the waterfall chart: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterfall_chart
